The biggest I got was right before the Army.
Had been working construction jobs in Alaska and ended up working for a fence company digging holes, setting poles, mixing cement, running 1/4-yard wheelbarrows of cement up & down mountain sides (more rich folk buying fences than poor folk, and the rich liked to be up in the mountains overlooking the city).
No power tools (power augers, mixers, etc) so it was all by hand.
8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Was consuming about 10,000 calories a day (no junkfood, just good home food), and various supplements from GNC.
I was about 190 to 195, 4% body fat, and had 20-inches around the biceps/triceps, and 21-inches around my forearms, and over 4-inches around the wrists.
When I enlisted it made basic training a breeze, as well as all training after that (AIT, and a heavy emphasis on Urban Combat & Tactics training).
My nickname started out as Iceman (from Alaska), but when I got my 3rd stripe they started calling me Sgt. Rock 'cause I was "hardcore", and "a stone cold killer". It was just my demeanor & facial expressions. I never lusted after the death of anyone who wasn't shooting bullets or rockets at me or my men.
I achieved the final rank of Staff Sargent just before Desert Shield & Desert Storm.
I'm quite literally a shadow of my former self.
The wages of sin exact a heavy toll.

Querkle Tree for Bassman! I crammed her into flower this morning. There's no space for her but its time. She's in an 11 gallon in subcool-ish mix. This is from a few days ago, she took a heavier prune before I plugged her in. Good day 600!

This would be almost comical if the guy wasn't so good:
(That's about what I looked like back in the day)

Living in Alaska would suck ass.

That chocolate milk in your avatar looks delicious. I'm drinking some simply orange juice, and it has mango in it. It tastes really watered down. Thought it would be a lot better :(

I was born & raised in Alaska, so to me it was the best place in the universe, until I got a taste of the Lower-48 and realized there was a different world to explore than what I was used to.
If it wasn't that my wife was sick & tired of Alaska, I'd still be there.
An amazing place.
If you ever want to challenge yourself, Alaska is the perfect place for it.
But too many people from down here moved up there, and the Alaska I grew up in is no more.
Since the wife wanted out, I figured that if I had to be amongst the cheechakos, I'd rather it be in warm weather.
Oregon's not so bad.

we don't like being called cheacackos lol. fuck man. you need to move further south. If Oregon is like Washington it would still suck. Raining all the time and shit. I hate winter for that reason. I wouldn't mind moving to Colorado myself. Too chicken shit to go by myself I suppose though.

My buddy runs some sort of supply house for the military in Anchorage. He moved up there in the early 80's and never came back.

Cheechako is an apt name for the clueless who move to Alaska.
Not everyone who moves to Alaska is a cheechako.
Cheechakos are the ones who refuse to adjust their attitude and lifestyle to the social conditions that rule the day in Alaska.
I have no desire to move farther south.
I was stationed in Fort Benning in Georgia for almost 4 years.
Did a cumulative time of about 2 years training in the deserts of Texas & Arizona, and spent a year in the Middle East.
I love the desert, but not enough to live in it permanently.
And I hate humid & muggy environs (except as a visitor).
When we moved to Oregon it was because it was where my wife had went to college and she liked the area.
I thought it was going to be rainy & chilly most of the year, too.
But it rains way less here than where I came from up there (we live in the Willamette Valley, so it's a whole different Oregon than other places near the coast or in the Portland area).
I was an avid, competetive downhill skier/racer, LOVE back country trips on snowmachines, cross country skiing, hiking where no human foot has ever touched earth, mountaineering, hunting & fishing (subsistence, not sport), and all the good stuff that draws people to there.
I prefer snow & ice to hot & muggy.
I didn't put on a winter coat (which to me is just barely above a windbreaker) until it got below 0-degrees (Fahrenheit), and didn't put on a parka until it got to -20F (unless taking a road trip: always be prepared for the worst).
Coldest I've been in is -70f.
THAT is fucking cold.
Never wore winter boots, just my work boots, rarely wore gloves (only when handling frozen stuff).
If it's above 50f, it's warm to me. Above 70f and it's hot-ish.
I've never really acclimated to the heat, I just make sure to stay hydrated to cope with it.
It's just a matter of what we're used to, and how much our bodies can adjust to environment.
I do like the high heat, but only in small doses anymore.

we call people from Alaska Cheetos too.

Couple years ago it got down to something like -55 here. Not windchill, but actual temp. You could throw water outside and it would freeze before it hit the ground. It would just turn to like snow.

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air;
If you listen carefully now you will hear.

Never heard of that one.
"Cheetos"?
What's the connection?
The color of the skin from the fake & bake tanning crowd is all I can think of.

(and the super cold temps we got go on for months, not days or weeks. After 2 months at or below -60, -40 is a heat wave, and everyone is down to wearing light jackets & windbreakers)

Is that the guy in his description says dog is shifty genetics its to lanky

Yeah, 1st time I have heard dog described as shittyy EVER!!
I have never seen a 3 fingered dog leaf ever though as well.
Prolly grower error over genetics.

I may add my dog isnt flowering yet, but my leaves are WAYYY different looking, and my plant has a much shorter stature and is kinda stocky.

He obviously hasn't smoked any Dog.
Worth the lankiness.
I notice his other plants are small, so he's not into a long veg and wants them as short as possible, it would seem.
But not a good excuse to bash the genes.
If height is an issue, supercrop, LST & scrog are the name of the game.
